Babies and Heaven: Part 2

ubject : Babies and Heaven: Part 2

Posted Date: : Jul 7, 2006 2:51 AM

As most of you know I regularly go on the grief and loss boards on babycenter now, which has become a godd support system for me.  I found this post one of the mother's posted I thought it was intresting and wanted to share it.  Call it part two to my heaven and babies blog.

_{^{The material is from the book, Messages From Your Angels by Doreen Virtue.}}

_{^{If you're not familiar with the text it is angel therapy, apparently this woman communicates with angels and she specializes in angel readings from those who have passed on. Here is what she says about deceased children, ages 5 and under.}}

_{^{Young children have a different perspective on death.  Children who are five years old and younger don't have a concept of death the same way we do.  When infants and young children pass over they don't realize that they're dead. They feel happy and alive and wonder why everyone is crying. Since they don't know that they're dead these children rush to the aid of their bereaved family members, offering etheric gifts to cheer them up.}} 

_{^{The souls of children who don't grow to full term births due to abortion, miscarriage or stillbirth stay by their mother's side. Those souls then have first dibs on the next body that will enter their mother. If you've lost an infant or fetus and have since had another child, chances are very good that this is the same soul. If the mother doesn't conceive additional children, that soul then grows up next to the mother and acts as a spirit guide. Sometimes the child's soul will enter the physical world and come into its mother's family in another way such as adoption, or by becoming the woman's neice or nephew.}}

_{^{Even though children's bodies are small it doesn't mean their souls are young, hapless or naive. We need to consider that the child's soul may have had some meaning and some responsibility with the timing of death.  No one dies without his own consent and I have found that to be true.  As difficult as it may be to accept, your child may have made the decision to go home to Heaven before you were ready to release him or her. Angels tell me they don't understand how we ever got the idea that everyone is supposed to live to be 90. Before our conception we decide along with our angels and guides what ages we will be when we pass from our physical bodies.}}

_{^{Many parents drive themselves crazy imagining that their child suffered terribly prior to their death. Fortunately God's mercy has created some safeguards that help us shut down the awareness of overwhelming pain. The human body will faint, the person will disassociate (go somewhere else in conciousness) or the spirit will be removed from the body before the pain gets too unbearable.}}

_{^{Children are never alone in Heaven. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, beloved pets and other children surround any child who has passed on. Usually children live in Heaven with relatives whom they knew upon Earth or those who were the child's spirit guides. In Heaven you can manifest any type of home that you like so the children in Heaven have relatively normal lives, live in comfortable homes and are surrounded by loving family members or friends. The angels tell me they have never met a child in Heaven who was alone.}}

_{^{Parental guilt seems to go hand in hand with rearing children and this guilt is compounded when our children become ill or pass away. However guilt isn't a form of love; it is actually an attack in disguise. When we feel guilt we are attacking ourselves and debasing the other person's free will. What good does it serve to second-guess it after the fact? Our children want us to be happy and the best route to happiness is through giving service using our natural talents, passions or interests. Service work can be a living tribute to a deceased child, something you can use to make meaning out of a seemingly senseless death...}}
